From Transferware to Tuscan

As much as I love my Blue Willow transferware, for Fall, I wanted to do something totally different...something with warm colors.

Wanting to change the look on a budget, I shopped the house. I'm always on a budget.

As I gathered things with Fall colors, a sort of Tuscan look, began to happen. Actually, I used a German marmalade jar, Portugese pottery plates, American Shaker boxes, French cheese and Italian bread sticks. Tuscan...right? :) Ok, humor me.

Here's the hutch, ready for Fall...

I had everything already in the house, including the wine, cheese, bread sticks, and herbs... ...all I had to buy were pears.

Babs,Your Fall look on the hutch is gorgeous! WoW...I'm wanting to go shopping at your house, too! Those golden yellow plates have such an interesting pattern! I bought that same dish towel a few weeks back. Those are my colors!!! Thanks for the wine tasting event! Haven't done that in years!Fondly,Pat

Babs, first of all your photos are gorgeous!! Love the setting sun ones. Hey anytime you need someone to sit and enjoy wine with you just call and we will chat and drink. I may have to walk home, but hey it isn't far. I LOVE what you did to this hutch. Warm and wonderful.

Oh Babs, I love the blue willow in your hutch, I LOVE this one too. So warm and inviting, not the traditional hint of fall... loving it. I've got to get some wine corks.. love that look. I'm glad you're enjoying the tour darling..hugs ~lynne~

I just knew this was going to be good. I wasn't dissapointed. Love the colors. I especially like the little leaf dish and the cheese tray. Love the shot of the cheese dome with the grapes. You know, you are really good at this!Have a great week.Ginger

This looks fantastic! And you could have fooled me about the olives, they looked good enough to eat (I love olives)! The marmalade jar with the breadsticks is wonderful. I'd love to come by for some wine and cheese.

Wow, I think this is my favorite display ever. I love everything. Such a lovely hutch and all of your accessories are so perfect. The wine and chese theme is beautiful. So really pretty and so creative. Thanks so much for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty

Love your hutch, looks so inviting as you are so able to do. I rejoined your site.. what the world? I am finding I am not on some sites I have been on forever! Seemed to happen when I changed my pic.. or now I have two id's running around out there in blog world.

Coming over from Marty - Stroll thru Life, I love your hutch. Isn't it always fun to reuse your treasurers in another way. We never seem to run out of accessories. Fall is a great time of the year for that splash of color and yours looks terrific. Your cheese and pear looks like I can reach out and touch them. What camera do you use? Drop by my blog I am hosting a giveaway to celebrate my 100th follower. Kathy

Babs,Too funny...that we have the same Crock Pot...must have been the hot ticket item for Christmas Sales that year! I had never had pork in the Crock Pot until I got that recipe, either. They were so good...and enough for "Mr. Ed" and I for leftovers the next evening, as well! I adore your blog! Your friendship is a treasure. Thanks for your sweet comment and visit recently! Happy Fall, dear friend!Fondly,Pat

Oooh...I love it...reminds me of how we ate in Italy!!! And the "Tuscan" look...actually, you're RIGHT...the convergence of various countries/styles collected over time is very Tuscan/European! Awesome!I also love your more recent post on incorporating the natural elements into your home for fall! So Rustic Lux!!!
